Missing Vegas woman found under garbage pile in her own home

Las Vegas police spent four months searching for Billie Jean James, but it was her husband who finally found the 67-year-old woman's body last week -- under a pile of garbage in their home. Billie Jean was something of a hoarder, it seems. The mess was bad enough that it hid James' remains from search dogs when they went through the house.

office said Friday the corpse found in the clutter-filled home belongs
to 67-year-old Billie Jean James. A spokeswoman says it could take weeks to determine when and how she died. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)
